Summary:
The city of Summerset, South Dakota is home to a single middle school, Stagebarn Middle School - 10, which serves students in grades 6-8. While there are no clear "standout" schools in the area, an analysis of the available data provides some key insights into the performance and characteristics of this school.
Stagebarn Middle School - 10 has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 54th out of 150 South Dakota middle schools in 2022-2023 to 88th out of 246 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics slightly below the Meade School District 46-1 and South Dakota averages, but higher proficiency rates in 8th grade Science. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% in 2024-2025 is also higher than the state average.
On a positive note, Stagebarn Middle School - 10 has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and a per-student spending of $9,860 in 2023-2024, both of which are better than the state averages. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 22.99% in 2023-2024 is lower than the state average, suggesting that the school may not be serving a highly economically disadvantaged population. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of Stagebarn Middle School - 10's performance and characteristics, with both areas of strength and areas that warrant further investigation and improvement.
